How It's Done in Lyons
The story comes from Lyons that a merchant collected a $30 grocery bill of a liquor dealer in a novel way. The grocer had made several demands for his money, but could not separate the man from his roll. Sunday morning the grocer and a clerk stopped into the liquor dealer's pace and bought a pint of whiskey, paying 75 cents. During the next few hours it gradually dawned on the liquor dealer that he had put himself in an exceedingly embarrassing position. He took counsel, went to the grocer, inquired the amount of his bill, paid $20 on account and squared the balance before sundown. He also got the bottle of whiskey back. The cork had not even been drawn.

The Andrus Family.
The following is from a Pittsford subscriber:
Mrs. Milliman:-
I have been reading in your Fairport Herald, and saw the name of Mrs. Nellie J. Andrus with Mrs. Carrie S. Fritts in a card of thanks.
I was interested in Mrs. Andrus' name. Many years ago my father, Daniel Andrus, left Deleware (sic) Co. and came to western New York,
and settled on a 40-acre farm now owned by a descendent of James Ransom. The farm is now known as the Andrus farm. When my father left
Deleware county, he left a large family of Andrus boys and girls. Only a few people spell the name "Andrus." That is why I would like to become
acquainted with Mrs. Nellie J. Andrus.
Perhaps if you would send this to the Fairport Herald I might hear from them and be able to trace the genealogy of the Andrus family.
The brother who passed away recently was in his 89th year. One of my brothers died in the 95th year of his age. Had been in the Civil war as deputy sheriff. His name was Justus D. Andrus. My brother, Joseph, was 93 when he died. I am the last of my father's family. There is a family of Andrus now in Deleware county. My father was in the war of 1812. If I hear from Mrs. Nellie J. Andrus, I can give a long list of Andrus boys in Weeping Water, Neb.
Yours truly,
Hannah C. Andrus Geare.

LOCATING CAR BARNS.
Several Villages in Strong Competition For Them.
Since the Rochester, Syracuse & Eastern car barns at Newark were burned there has been considerable agitation in some of the towns down the line to secure the new barns, and it is understood that the location will be selected within a few days.
The officials of the road no doubt will not overlook the advantages of Fairport as a convenient location, and it is understood that the company has ample ground for them just west of the village near the West Shore underground crossing. The traffic is much heavier at this end of the route, much heavier at this end of the route, and the location of the barns here, would obviate many long runs for early morning cars.
It is said that there is strong competition between Newark, Lyons and Clyde to get the barns, which mean considerable added business for the successful contestant.
Newark is putting forth strong effort to retain the barns. Clyde, which is twelve miles to the east and about midway on the line of the R.S. & E., is using the argument that its locations makes it the natural operating point, and hence the logical site for the new structure. The barns were built at the Newark location before the road was operated east of Clyde, the road having been built in successive links, beginning with the Rochester-Fairport section.
It is probably that the barns will be of larger capacity than the former structure, the traffic of the line having increased greatly since completion. In addition to heavy passenger travel a large volume of express matter is handled. The Newark barns were of wood, but it is probable that the new buildings will be of a more substantial type of a construction.
DEATHS
John F. White passed away at his home on North Main st. Friday morning. He had been in failing health some years from heart trouble, and the end came as the gradual going out of a candle, the heart action gradually growing weaker until it ceased altogether.

Clark farm. He then came to Fairport, about 15 years ago, and since that time worked on the Col. S.P. Howard farm south of the village, and also in the DeLand works. He later purchased a little place northwest of the village, which he sold to James Newman, and of late has resided on North Main st., at the corner of East ave.
He married Miss Minnie Hames of this village Dec. 24, 1874, who with one daughter, Clara E., survive. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the house, Rev. D.J. Torens, pastor of the Congregational church, officiating, and interment was made in Oakwood cemetery, Penfield.

GETTYSBURG.
Reunion Strengthens Tie Between the North and the South.
The editor of the Herald has received a letter from his father, O.P. Miner, of Cortland, a member of the 76th Regiment, who attended the reunion at Gettysburg, and believing that it represents the prevailing sentiment of the veterans regarding the reunion we give herewith extracts from it.
"Yesterday at 9 a.m. I left Gettysburg, arriving home at midnight. I would not have missed going for a good deal. One can learn more of the correct positions of our troops and the lines of battle in an hour or two of personal inspection than by reading pages of history. Monuments and markers are erected, even in the woods, showing where officers fell and where the different corps, brigades and regiments were placed.
"The breastworks built by our men right through the woods for their defense are plainly visible. Cannon made entirely from iron, wheels and all, stand on concrete on the very spot where cannon stood during the battle belching forth shot and shell. This applies to the different commands of the Confederates and to the batteries in the rear of PIcket's men just before his charge as well as to the Federal.
"On Cemetery hill is erected a high tower, from the top of which, reached by stairs, one has a view of the battlefield from the Round Tops to Culp's hill. Some time you should visit this greatest battlefield of this continent.
"The general government and some of the states did themselves honor in arranging for this reunion of the Blue and the Gray, which in my judgment will bind together the North and the South more firmly than anything else could do.
"I met and talked with many of the Confederates and invariably they were glad that the result was as it was. One intelligent veteran from North Carolina, who, by the way, is a Progressive, and voted for Roosevelt, said this was the general feeling in his section.
"We had plenty of good and wholesome food, such as meat, potatoes, bread, hard tack, tea and coffee, etc. On the Fourth for dinner they gave us good and well cooked chicken and ice cream with the rest. The water was good and pure. I had two or three drinks from Spangler's spring, where 50 years ago both 'Yanks' and 'Johnnies' quenched their thirst at the base of Culp's hill.

WEST WEBSTER.
On July 4th between 40 and 50 of the Peet family gathered at the home of J.C. Peet on the Ridge road to celebrate the centennial of the farm coming into the Peet family. Among the relics to be seen were the original deed transferring 203 acres and 69 rods of land from Daniel Penfield and Mary, his wife, to Samuel Peet. This property was later divided between the two sons of Samuel Peet, Hiram, father of the late Silas C. Peet, and Nelson, the father of the late Mrs. Lucretia Staats. The property coming to the son, Hiram, has been held for these 100 years by one of his descendants, and never but once and then for only a short period, has there been a mortgage against the property.
After a bountiful dinner served on the lawn in front of the house the host of the occasion, J.C. Peet, welcomed his relatives from Michigan and various parts of N.Y. state and then called upon Mortimer S. Peet of Norwich, N.Y., to speak of the past Peets or give the genealogy of the Peet family.
The first Peet of which there is any record was John Peet, who came from Seven Oaks, Kent Co., Eng., to American in 1635. The name has suffered two changes, being spelled first Peat, then Pitt. During this period the well known English statesman, Wm. Pitt, was a member of the family; then the name was spelled Peet, and has so continued. The family originally settled in Connecticut, but has spread now to all parts of the country. After bringing the line down through two Johns, one David, five Samuels and a Hiram, the grandfather of the present owner of the farm, and telling some anecdotes of the ancestors, the story of the present was taken up by Nelson R. Peet, who in a short spicy speech explained the changes and improvements of the present day in the methods and crops raised and he called upon those present to see to it that the past never be allowed to grow less high. The toastmaster then introduced the eldest son of the eldest son of the next generation to shell out a prophecy of the Peet family, and introduced Sheldon W. Peet, of Lockport, N.Y., who in a very happy and witty manner told what was to be expected of the future Peets. A duet by James C. Peet, secretary and Robert L. Peet followed and was much enjoyed by all present.
The afternoon was spent in visiting and games and in trying to keep cool until the high wind came up and cooled the atmosphere.
Austin Peet of Battle Creek, Mich., whose boyhood home was at the corner of the Ridge and the West Hatch road, is visiting relatives and friends in Webster and West Webster.
